Looking for dependable income? Here are 3 healthcare stocks that we think you can count on to be reliable dividend payers for years to come. When the stock market starts to get rocky, investors begin to really appreciate stable, dividend-paying companies that are able to consistently dish out cash back to their shareholders. The healthcare sector can be a great place to search for strong dividend-paying companies, as people spend money on healthcare regardless of macroeconomic factors.
We asked our team of Motley Fool contributors to pitch a healthcare stock that pays a strong dividend that can be counted on for years into the future. Read on to see if you agree with them. As a biotech stock, Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) may not be a name that immediately comes to mind as a company with a rock-solid dividend, but perhaps it should, as the company has been returning cash to shareholders since 2011. AbbVie (NYSE:ABBV) recently offered investors a tasty 3.7% dividend yield, and it has increased its payout by 28% over the past two years. If you're looking for the quintessential rock-solid dividend stock, you'd be hard-pressed to overlook Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ). Consistency is an understatement for this titan.
